He was recently commended for his work by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and notably this award acknowledges Jason’s leadership in changing the culture of those in law enforcement to see that a health based approach to those who use drugs is more effective than arrest to achieve a reduction in use.

But after losing his brother to gang violence in 2011, Matthew has used his pain and loss to turn his life around. After gaining qualifications, and voluntary and formal work experience Matthew decided to form his own business which would allow him to assist young people in recognising the consequences of their lifestyle choices, create awareness of gang crimes and educate on preventative measures.
